A/N: Hi there! Welcome to 'A Lucid Reality', where your worst nightmares are in fact reality.
This is a sort of preface/disclaimer/warning page all in one, before we get into the actual story. So to start, because it isn't obvious from the title and cover image, this is actually a Shane Dawson Fanfiction and while there are other characters in it, the focus will be mostly on him. If you're still reading this, I'm going to assume you're either a Shane Dawson fan or you've at least heard of him at some point – or maybe you're neither but you're still curious about it.
I need to stress three very important things before I continue: one, I'm saying right now that I myself am a Shane fan and I came up with the idea of this after noticing there isn't really another Fanfiction that combines horror elements and Shane in one (even though he himself is a huge horror fan). This story is in no way meant to disregard or disrespect him – Shane is an angel and I do NOT think he's capable of the things being written about in this story.
Two, depending on several factors, you will either be completely in love with this story or absolutely hate it… you'll have to decide that on your own once you've read. This is NOT a happy, fluffy fanfic like so many others within the fandom – there'll be a few funny and light hearted moments but they're very few and far apart – they probably make up 1% of the fic. The other 99% is extreme hardcore stuff that may actually leave some of you 'shook'.
Three,this is an AU fic that looks into 'what-ifs' – basically, everyone who is in this story is going to be EXTREMELY OOC and more or less the direct opposites of what they actually are… so if you ARE familiar with Shane and his group then be prepared for that.
Also, I want to thank the six darlings that offered to be in this story – they will show up occasionally as Morgan (Ryland's sister's) friends. Because of them there will be some cute, silly parts to this but not that many. But I love all of them and they've been a major source of encouragement, even now as I'm still currently writing the story, so thank you to them 3
DISCLAIMER: I don't own anyone in this story except for my OCs. Like I said in the above portion, this is only meant to entertain and this is not an accurate portrayal of the people named within. I also do not in any shape or form condone the actions that will be discussed/portrayed in this story.
